This is a good place to stay at. no hiding fees. nor security deposit. I didn't even provided my credit card when reserving online. I have stayed at Comfort Inn Moreno and they had ripped me off with the deposit and absurd fees.
the Checking is quick and straight forward
Pretty close to the freeway 91
Place is clean and...

I have stayed at this hotel for 5-6 nights per year for 6 years in a row. I have never had a bad stay. Clean rooms, friendly staff and decent prices keep me coming back. Close to the freeway and McDonads is a bonus.

I booked a Non Smoking room for my wife & 2 year old son & when i walked in it stunk & smelled a lot like cigarettes. Then i go to use the restroom & i have no towels to shower, the toilet wouldn't flush & then the cable was failing & it was difficult to watch tv on the...

I liked it. The staff was very nice and it is in walking distance from the Metrolink station. The weather was nice. Two very good restaurants near the Metrolink station. The only thing is that it has no elevator. But if you want your exercise, ask for the second floor.

It looks more as a motel, the swimming pool doesn't work, will never work and the price is still the same, 100 dlls per night is extremely expensive for a place like that. The receptionist was nice but talking on the phone all the time. Also I had problems with the door room that was kind of broke. I would...

It was dirty. Tube was not clean. Had to ask them change the shower curtain. There was a pool but they would not allow us to get in cause it was being work on so they say. The smoke alrarm was beeping for the first night until I had them change the battery. There were guys hanging out side the...

Cockroaches in bathroom, the owners live right upstairs and are extremely loud. Shower doesn't work only tub... No amenities whatsoever not shampoo soap or anything.. There was a towel with brown spots on it.. We had no other choices but to stay here I would never stay again.. Not a safe hotel it kind of has a prostitute look when...

The people can only bring a place so far. A hotel room has to have a few basic things: cleanliness, enough towels, a toilet that works, a shower that works, hangers, shampoo, and no smells. Everything else is a bonus (like outside noises, etc).
Let's start with the people: All fabulous, from the check-in and the check-out to the cleaning...

I absolutely love this hotel. Not only are the rooms awesome the staff who works there in the front office are seriously the nicest people I have ever came across in all the years that I've stayed at hotels. They have very clean rooms, Fridge, Microwave, its all around a great place to stay for sure if ur visiting Riverside....

The shower did not work. No plug in the tub. Coffee pot with no basket. Who goes in a room and checks to see if the shower works? Well, I will from now on.
I am in town for a mandatory conference for a Charitable Organization and the housing committee did a terrible job of putting people in rooms. That...

“Of course our trip was to see the Mission Inn and that is a must see but that whole area is just amazing. The topography of the Riverside area is of the most amazing we've seen in California. We have tried to make this trip for years and delayed it over and over. Don't you delay; go, you will love Riverside and be amazed as well.”
